Goes to show how dominant West Indies were in the glory days.My above list was wrong. I had the same date filter on as earlier.
The correct list is the following:
South Africa 1.044
West Indies 1.216
England 1.538
India 1.756
Sri Lanka 1.875
Pakistan 1.937
New Zealand 2.307
Zimbabwe 13.500
Bangladesh 18
It's quite scary that we made three of the first five World Cup Finals and the semifinal in the other two. Then got left behind as the game changed.Yeah. The other thing which surprised me is how much better England have performed vs my perception of them.
Aus bash both at home, Aus only bash NZ away (31-20 in NZ, to 30-29 in England). Explains most of the difference.Are you 100% on those stats? I'm very surprised that NZ have such a bad record vs Aus compared to England.
Can you also understand why a pakistani might for the same opinion?I rate India below Sri Lanka because for the 20 years between 1996 and 2016 Sri Lanka were consistently better against Australia than India.
India have been better against Sri Lanka than most teams so I can understand why an Indian might form the view that India was better.
Sri Lanka were a minnow until the mid 90s though so I can understand people rating pre-90s cricket higher.
That's bull. It's quite dire to link someone's opinion to their nationality or anything else about them. This forum is supposed to be better than that.I rate India below Sri Lanka because for the 20 years between 1996 and 2016 Sri Lanka were consistently better against Australia than India.

I don't think he did that. The way I read it he just meant someone might be more conversant with their own country's results. Not everyone goes to Stats guru to form their opinion.That's bull. It's quite dire to link someone's opinion to their nationality or anything else about them. This forum is supposed to be better than that.
